VRF dial looks closer to the gen digital dial and the ROF looks closer to the Noob. But on the wrist, I think any of these dials are acceptable. YMMV depending on your OCD, lol.

So interested in pulling trigger on this. But I wonder if the watch feels well made and bracelet quality

Great review! Thank you for the extensive input! Always appreciate your analysis [mention]KJ2020 [/mention] . I too, was impressed with the inserts on their offerings and I’m tempted to scoop up their Pepsi and try it out. Do you think that’d be a wise decision vs the Noob V11?

My “Tin Foil Hat” has me wondering if this offering is similar to the RXF submariner one.... perhaps it’s a precursor to a VSF release... most likely not, but you never know!

My thought exactly. Saving my chastity belt for VSF's BLRO....

I still think the Noob Pepsi insert is king bro. The ROF insert looks too close to the VRF not to be the same source.

Exactly my thoughts, still Noob insert is the best. I really want a good meteorite dial and was thinking about the ROF but I don't want to give away the Noob v11 Pepsi and DJF dial that just arrived. Maybe I will get a BP dial that had the WG DW window

KJ2020 If/when you get in the meteorite from ROF in-the-flesh, can you post some shots of it up here with comparison to DJF/GMF? Idk if I trust TD photos, maybe it'll be less blue in person / different lighting

This 18 transition is appalling. I would rather have the brighter ROF/VRF, minor speed bump and all.

In person, the 18 transitions are barely visible at wrist distance (although v11 transitions are better. Its just a matter of individual QC, the one you posted is on the bad side). What is more evident is the color and Noob is more appealing to my eyes. Have 3 Noob Pepsi with better QC and will not trade any of them for a VRF/ROF (which insert I also own)

Pietros -I just reread my question and realized it could be answered 2 ways depending on which part of the caseback I'm thinking of. I know there's the center section of the caseback with the teeth that sticks out. I was thinking about the outer edges where they meet up with the case. It looks like the gen and ARF are both flat and the others stick out a little.

Can Pepsi inserts by Noob be purchased separately? Different factories tend to be stingy with what they sell alone. But if possible it's definitely a better option than their whole watch itself.

Yes, I’ve ordered the noob insert separately to replace my vrf ;)

I went ahead and ordered the ROF Pepsi. I’ll post some approved QC pics once I receive them.

Me too, I hope that in days I will receive the qc pics
